So any comments on this system..? I chose the 3.06Ghz due to the amount video / audio processing I will be doing on the system as I produce iMini-DVD's(TM) @ ArtisticByNature , soon to be hitting stores next year!

1 tip though: dont get i-work pre-installed
get it in a box ffor the same price uninstalled or if u can be bothered get it from somewhere else (amazon etc) for cheaper -- then u have a boxed copy- much better than a pre-installed copy, imo.

THX I will buy iWork separately. I was wondering Boxed version is better, maybe because it comes with manuals too?

I tend to think that it's better to go for the un-installed option so you can always have the original Disk/box incase anything goes wrong and you can re-install it. I don't know how it works if it's pre-installed, maybe they give you some sort of Customer ID incase you need it re-installing for some reason so you're not paying twice.
I'd look into that before you bought it, but generally speaking I think most people would go for the un-installed option.
Good luck, sounds like a pretty neat computer

I currently have them both on my desk. The iMac 3.06GHz is noticeably faster, but has a slight problem. The classic emulation program SheepShaver does not currently work on it.
If you have no Classic needs, its the one, and the price is right.
